we're getting.

Oh yeah, um yeah Jill look I tried to talk her out of

it, but, but ah, you know

what shes like.

Well I've got a photograph of her at 12 at the cat

show,

she's completey covered in hives, it's upstairs. I'm

going to go get it, see if it will jog your memory.

So, what's going on?

I just couldn't tell her okay? Please don't tell her

either of you.

I've never kept anything from your mother, I don't

think...

Here you go, look at this.

That's what cat's do to you.

Yeah you're right, it was a stupid idea.

No darling, it wasn't stupid, you just didn't think it

through.

Yeah you're right, I didn't.

I couldn't, I just couldn't tell her.

Don't worry about it, just tell her when the time's

right okay?

That's just it,

when will the time be right?

She's always made my life a living hell...

...even at school, I didn't have black shoes for my

uniform, so she painted my brown shoes black...

with watercolours...

rain...

Oh.

I love her Stew I do, I just don't want her turning

our special day into some...

...bloody second-hand wedding.

Thanks Brian.

What was all that business about tonight, Cheryl

and the cat?

Oh,

she can be a ning-nong sometimes, can't she?

You know where she gets that from, don't you?

My side.

Night love.

Love you.

I feel really bad about Stew,

he doesn't understand why I can't wear the ring.

Why aren't you wearing the ring?

Alex Johnson, you put that down, and stop teasing

Bella, okay you sit on the bench for the rest of

playtime, now.

I'm not wearing it because the teachers at Beach

school know the teachers at Coast school.

And Jill works at Coast school.

It'll be all over this place like a case of nits.

Miss Rose.

Yes Tai?

Sean called me the 'i' word.

The 'i' word?

Yeah.

Well, you tell Sean that if he calls you the 'i' word

again, he'll have a timeout for the rest of playtime

okay?

Okay.

The 'i' word?

I think it's idiot, it used to be the 'e' word but I think

they're better spellers now.

Why don't you just tell your Mum, just tell her

straight out you want to organise it.

Oh, alright.

I guess I could give her a couple of things to look

after.

Like the bridesmaids dresses.

You wouldn't.

Ha, ha, course I wouldn't.

Hello Jody.

Hi Mrs. Rose.

What can I do for you?

My Mum says I have to give you this.

It says that we can't afford for me to go on camp

next month.

So it does...

I'll tell you what Jody,

I need a special assistant to come on camp this

year...

and this special assistant wouldn't have to pay to

come on camp cause I'd need them to help me

organise games,

and a lolly scramble at the end...

Do you know anyone that could do that job?

I could, I'd work hard.
